It utilises an ultrasonic sensor integrated with amicrocontroller unit (MCU) to accurately measure the oil level. By incorporatingWi-Fi connectivity, the system enables remote monitoring of tank levels, providing users with convenience and efficiency.

Unlike standard calendar apps, BusyBee helps users organise their time while connecting with friends with new social features such as syncing friends’ schedules to see when they are free, viewing what events their friends are attending, and customisable privacy settings. Not only does BusyBee solve the issue of stressful event planning, but it also provides companies with a platform for subsidised advertisement and all the tools they need to plan and analyse the success of their events. Fromour research, we found amarket gap between scheduling and socialising apps. BusyBee addresses this need for an all-in-one platform, that combines personal scheduling with event planning.

The ISAKOS classification system is used to categorise the meniscal tears, and the research employs the Stryker Air+™ all-inside meniscal repair method. Normal, torn, and repairedmenisci are subjected to cyclic loading and pull-to-failure testing, with the results compared to assess the effectiveness of the repair. Ultimately, the study aims to identify the conditions under which surgical intervention is warranted.
